Impact of intravascular thrombosis on failure of radial arterial catheters in critically ill patients: a nested case-control study.
The patency of arterial catheters is essential for reliable invasive blood pressure monitoring. We sought to determine whether radial catheter failures were associated with intravascular thrombosis in critically ill adult patients. ⋯ Most failing radial arterial catheters had no luminal obstruction, but were associated with an intravascular thrombosis. Among predictive factors, arterial blood sampling frequency is the most susceptible to intervention.
